Hi all-I was hoping to get the Community's take on the following scenario...I am looking to acquire my 5-6th units via a duplex.

Single-hung usually next in line, then double-hung... casement/awning windows of comparable size are usually the most costly of the common window types.Be sure to pay attention to the egress needs - while a 2650 DH might meet egress, a 2650 casement may not (or it may need side pivot hardware).I could write a small novel on what to look for when buying windows... however, sleep beckons.
